That pardon was clearly the result of a conspiracy to prevent the implosion of the Republican party.
A few questions:
1. What is the useful purpose of US presidents possessing the power to pardon convicted offenders?
2. Why was there no hue and cry for the peculiar spectacle of pardoning the "unguilty"?
3. Was it because Democrats were thinking:
3/a "that could'a been me"
3/b "if we're generous to the Republicans today, they'll be generous to us someday"
3/c "nobody will vote for a guy who kicks a loser when he's already down"
3/d "all the above"
4. Did the Democrats of that time unwittingly invite the perpetual investigation/impeachment of Bill Clinton, 20 yrs. later and the blinding blizzard of shit in which we find ourselves wallowing, 26 yrs. after that?
5. Wouldn't it have been better to have spent those 46 yrs. preparing citizens for the impending technological/ecological/climatic/population explosion earthquake* it suffers from today?
6. Who could have predicted the depths to which Republicans would stoop to prevent such prudent preparedness? (All for the sole purpose of maintaining their positions of privilege and power)
*BTW, it is from the wreckage of that earthquake which today's victims ("the homeless, MAGA and other refugees"
trudge the streets, struck dumb in open-mouthed shock and act out in hopeless desperation.
